The Target near me has a CVS pharmacy that as far as pharmacies go, is pretty good. The only alternatives are two deadly Walgreens where people walk in, clean out the shelves into garbage bags and walk out with no one stopping them. (Corporate policy.) Walgreens will contact you to pick up your prescription; when you get there it's not ready, they don't have it and never had it. There were a couple of CVS nearby, but one closed for the same problem as Walgreens, the other one has no staff, and Costco is on the far western edge of two suburbs over. So Target is it.
While I was there yesterday, I walked around. This Target services a large "mixed" (well-integrated in my 75 yr old lingo) area and carries an extensive array of ethnic (read curly gurls and black) hair products. This particular Target is notorious for being understocked ever since it opened in 2012, and usually the ethnic hair products section has huge gaps in inventory. The hair products section was the fullest I have ever seen it in 13 years. Other parts of the store (produce, grocery, clothing, textiles, etc.) were also very "filled in". Other than myself, I saw only one person of color.
It's obvious we ain't shopping there. I assume Target's CEO is crying uncle and wants to make a deal.
